Lot Essay

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

The present ref. 116599SA is one of the exceedingly few examples of this model to appear in public to date. Consigned by the original owner and in excellent overall condition it is furthermore sold with the full set of accessories.

Launched in the early 2000s, ref. 116599 SA is a fine and very attractive example of Rolex’s jewelled Daytona models. These well-known models set with precious stones served an elite clientele and aimed to offer them designs which were classic yet elegant. As much as they may appear as anachronisms, these masterpieces must be regarded as a superb symbiosis of two worlds, sport and elegance.

The case is embellished with 48 baguette-cut diamonds and 12 baguette-cut sapphires, the hoods between the lugs with 48 brilliant-cut diamonds – clearly a watch that will not go unnoticed.
